Guild Wars 2

I like to know the logic behind making some recipes karma based and others needing luck, but at this point nothing amazes me.

You can just imagine the convo..

“So how we going to make this interesting to people that dont like crafting?”
“I know, we put in a few things that need some luck, that will make it fun!!”

(a little bit of me is hoping its an oversight, but im not going to hold my breath)

Stooperdale.3560:

It sounds attractive since you’ll be able to get your legendary. Everyone will get their legendary. In fact so many people will have a legendary we can rename it to common.

Everyone wants to shortcut the legendary process because they feel entitled to get one but really nobody should be entitled to a legendary weapon after doing a bit of crafting.

Whats so legendary about them now? Since most of the owners ran the easiest path of dungeons, got portalled up the EB jump puzzle, ran in karma trains in Old Orr and farmed what ever the meta was at the time or got lucky at the Karka giveaway, so lets not pretend that those are more worthy of a “Legendary” than an alternative way to obtain. (unless ofc your one of those trying to sell pre’s on the TP)

Btw I wouldnt bother crafting one either but that my principals of the current progression.

EdgarMTanaka.7291:

I love this place, I haven’t played it that much but already got alot of achievements and the jumps

Don’t worry to much, some of you who are complaining seems to be WvW players and well you got your piece of the cookie two or three updates ago, and there will be more, also there has been changes for WvW players in every update atm so as a few posters above me has stated, ’It’s realy not only jumping puzzles that is permanent’.
.

The first part of this backs up what i have said… that most jump puzzle players have indeed already finished (what are all of you gonna do now for another 2 weeks?)

And yep the WvW update was so awesome that we feel we must come and destroy your fun too. (Go read the WvW forums to see how great that was)

So im presuming that all living story here in will be jump puzzle related, most jump puzzle players have already blitzed tho this its those of us that hate jump puzzles I suppose we can always hope the next one gives us something to do.

Oh and in the meantime make those waypoints free if you fall to your death, even some of the sky crystals dont even have a way back once you dropped down to them and you have no choice but to waypoint out. (i know its only 1.39 but its soon adds up if your crap like me)

I didnt want to post this week, since as soon as i saw what the reset lottery handed us i know it was going to be a week of being run over by 50+. The Pink Gods were displeased and punished us with AM

But not being one of those players in a leet zerg busting guild, I have found this week to be frustrating and boring all at the same time. If im not being run over by 50+and add how ever many golems being brought at that time, i get to PvD towers/keeps back once this master blob leaves, since no one ever sticks around.

I think in truth if you all got in a match up with just npcs you really wouldnt notice or care as long as you could press 1 and get your wxp, a bit like dragon chests and Orr farming what you do if no different.

/end rant and Il be praying to the pink gods we dont get you on friday again.

Solo or not, if you dislike jump puzzles and Dungeons this is one not to bother with. I think even if you do just the easy JP’s and the Aether kills you can only get to 11 at a push. Havent even bothered to go into the new dungeon, tho I did rezz alot of people outside the instance not long after update so kinda already had a feeling this was going to be as tedious as Flame and Frost one.

This just feels like they want people to go back to jump puzzles since once they done people dont bother and those that really dont care wont bother to go anyway. Dont really care for minis so not really bothered but will be the first living story content Im not bothering with which will prob now give me the mindset if i missed this one then I wont be as bothered missing the rest.

Caid.4932:

I really hope you do. So many bad habits being formed that i hope they’re punished and people learn a lesson.

Well i suppose you got your wish since us idiot pugs had to deal with at least 3 omegas and about 5 golems.

Lol dont need an update just knock on a gate and you will see just how a Gandaran prepares for battle

(if there was a sigh emote id have used that )

Thanks for this thread, been wanting to ask the same thing for a while.

Twinny.9304:

and just to think if we were still on old system we’d have a nice match up tonight, Gandalf-Aurora-FSP all in tier 5 together Problem is with this system its like pick a name out of the hat anyway fingers crossed this is what is the match up I hope for ^^

Maybe if we all sacrifice rams on the altars, the Pink Gods will show their pleasure and give us good match ups this reset lottery, last time we upset the Pink Gods we got both RS and AM.. just saying :P

Caid.4932:

Aye with the increased range and radius on Ac’s theres very few ‘safe’ spaces you can put siege these days.

Dont forget with all the wxp ho’s they have, they have that maxed up.

Can see their chat now, borderland done, lets jump map to the next outmanned bl and we will rinse repeat til ofc everyone they are not outmanned, ok we met some resistance, now we bunker in and sit on ac’s. Oh and not lets forget to use /laugh as often as poss (ofc all done in german)

Have fun, and im sorry for any small groups of AM being zerged down but its like karma, we feel it so will you.

I just wanted to add, that all servers have blobs, thats the casual randoms that pop into W3 for some “fun”, but some of the ranks you guys have no way thats the casual play, that someone playing for 6/8 hrs a day in WvPvD by now you are supposedly hardcore and should not have to “mass up” since you are not that little newbie coming to wvw for the first time wanting to learn, you are choosing not to learn to play differently, you are scared to leave that comfort blanket that surrounds you.

Maartac.9457:

Acotje.5689:

Got a nice screenshot of the AM blob.

“awesome ACs” …. yeah u are the man bro ^^ i like ur skill
…btw count the loot bags and count the people who stand around ^^ nice blob

Why so hostile? Looks to me that FSV tried the darkside and won, be happy about having a 1000 arrows rain down on you, you know kinda like you want us to be
After all as long as they were having fun and looks like they won too isnt that the way you said W3 should be played!

Maartac.9457:

Oh boy…. it´s so funny to play against Far ShiverKids und Crydara
I like this Forum so much …. i feel the hate …. the Blobs are watching u

You was right before you edited it, so I corrected for you

Yipee back to reading how we play WvW wrong and how the German Servers play it the way its intended again… I didnt believe it the first time and Im sure im not going to believe it this time either.
All im going to say on this, if your having fun playing this way then so be it, but we are not.

I blame FSP for this match up, we were trying to pray to the pink gods before reset and placing our gifts of flame rams as offerings, but seems we couldnt place one at the bay altar in time….. hence our God thought to punish us, last time that happened we got RS too!!!

Just remember it could have been worse, poor AS has hardly anyone to fight this week least we will get plenty… if only our skills work that is.

Acotje.5689:

Looks like Gandara wants their Border back :X

Just for you FSV, thought you like to see what it looked from our side.

el matadore.3852:

Had an awesome night at Gandara borderlands. we held hills and even had a waypoint.
like someone said: Gandara GoT PunK’d.

& ofcourse nice job from kale for the upgrading and defending.

As someone mentioned in our map yesterday, was the best nights of the week so far, got to love FSV doesnt matter how many of us come at you, FSV are like this is our spot your not having it, think the word im looking for is crazy (thats fun crazy btw!!).

As for Hills, map chat was like.. kill fake bessies so they cant upgrade!!! kitten me there is a guild escorting!! Also was that you at hills Terrorsquad /laugh as we all died under a hail of arrows? If not then you realise the same is happening back, not that we cared tbh too much fun was being had.

Thanks for a great night.

Worst thing I know how your feeling right now since that was me last week, outmanned, golems knocking at gates and them being able to zerg a gate down in mins, all those people inside your keep were nowhere to be seen and next week when we need them they will be off doing their own thing but not in WvW.

Its not gonna help alot but I got thro it by waiting them out, they get bored and move on, so it became a wxp holiday for me also started watching for those tailng behind in zergs and taking all my frustration out on them, didnt help our points but made me feel better.

This isnt the true Gandara, this is the monster lucking in the background, and im not too impressed by the way they behaving either so much ive gone pve

Tbh i dont even agree with the waypoint in AS EB Keep, its already a crap week for them least they could have had even fights in jump puzzle but we have even denied them that bit of fun too. I remember far to many of our bad matches that sucked the fun out of playing to find it fun myself doing it to others.

Tho well played FSP tonight you deff caught us sleeping in GBL It seemed that supply camp was far too important to some to want to give it to AS instead of coming to help Hills.

Kansloos.4329:

Really gandara is the only thing you can do blob? Learn some tactics man really this is getting annoying…..

Unfortunately we are a high PvE server and times like this just brings them in, you could always do what I did last week, find that Dungeon Master or Legendary Weapon and make sure they at least incur some costs.

Tbh gloating on forums on a totally unfair match up isnt what id call fair play, if it was the other way round (remember last week?) and Gandara was out numbered there would be so many QQ’s in this thread. Actually think back to when Piken did that to us on EB, remember how much fun that was everyday and they didnt come to the forums for a pat on the back.

Never know maybe next week we will be the underdog and find ourselves outmanned on EB and every other map too at prime time.

Seren.6850:

If this was letting us earn gold it would have been hotfixed yesterday and that is the sad truth.

This is so sad.. but so true.

Feel likes is aprils fool joke… hey we gonna give you free siege with those chests you zerged so hard for….. but guess what!!!! you cant use them muhahahaha.

Was kinda funny the first night, but now its boring….. do we have enough people to zerg that gate or do we need a golem??

Tbh no point playing atm, unless if have more than the other side then u cant do anything, and anyone thats played against the german servers will feel the pain I am.

Unfortunately it wont be their numbers low just their opponents unless ofc they end up in a match up cycle like their own playstyle of “community raids” (hope your reading this anet!!! make them play together, all of em) and let those that dont enjoy this way of playing stick to their own kind, smaller battles as in below 30 not the 60+ there seems to be about. More intense battles far out way the auto attacking of gates.

adoslaw.7091:

Poor Gandara… Half of Aurora Glade guilds transfered to lower tiers after two weeks with RS ankitten ow it’s your turn…

Hopefully with the new match ups its just for 1 week. Also most of our Guilds have a knack for keeping themselves entertained, may not bring points but I dont have any doubt of their ability to bring some laughs to the match up. (no pressure ofc!!)

At least say you are aware of the problem and looking at a fix.

Bluesavanah.8562:

Is it Ironic that a server who busted a gut to get rid of Gandara is now begging us to stop fighting so we can face them again ?

Actually I think it was more that our Guilds tend to be fun to fight, wether they be the small ones or the big, think of it as a compliment when they sent everyone at us 24/7

Acotje.5689:

Gandara, you hunting for us?
<3

Unfortunately there wasnt much else to do

Why is it usually the announce a new build and 10 mins later we are all kicked, but today they announce new build and we cant get inWvWvw and are still waiting 20+ mins later… but hey I can kill a dragon or do a dungeon if i wish no problem… go figure.

Ciuffo.6384:

so far so good, we are the underdog, we knew it, but even with a difficult start we are “surviving” and having a lot of fun.
Is just impressive the size of your teams, having 2 40+ man blobs inside your border do not make things easy.
We defend on one side and lose on the other as our numbers seems not as high as Gan or MS ones.
But a lot of fun and looking forward to some more fights!

Think it just feels that way when your on your homeland border, I know I had a few “OMG” moments last night, our Garrison had walls down, gates being damaged that I wanted to hire a cleaner to tidy up the mess, that being said I had a lot of fun, then I moved to EB since all we owned there was Lowlands.. was a bit like deja vu seeing it being trebbed from every angle, after so many supply runs to fix up the Keep I got invited for a party at MS Hills. (which became one of the longest sieges Ive been on for a while, gratz for that btw, deff made people think how to counter)

As for Gandara having a big night crew, last night a few more stayed about due to the amount of fun being had, we weren’t being run over by 60+ Guild groups as had happened in previous weeks from midnight . Anyway had a great night

Gandara blob +25 men vs FSP (us) 7 or 8 men, don’t know exactly.. Fight was at Lake supcamp (gandara bl) and took you guys like 10mins to wipe us :p…

Was a good fight, I enjoyed it

i won’t even remark further on your inability to count.

Actually If you count the red names, not including the pets etc 25 is fairly accurate. Just playing devil’s advocate, but you can count around the 25 mark.

That fight at Lake was so funny.. you all just kept running back everytime we thought we had it you were back, tho i do think at the end of that fight you wasnt as out manned as you think.

Anyway thank you for the first fun reset Ive had in a while, and what caused the 20 man escort team? You broke so many doors in Garrison was easier to get Bessie home than fix them

Hope the rest of week is as much fun as last night.

FrouFrou.4958:

Aw yeaah dat pie. The weather looks rather green and has a scent of mad PvD in the air!

With an aroma of Golems.

kribre.9683:

Be sure to count those Yak’s, they have a tendency to duplicate them, cough cough, 13 vs 17 cough couch

If you want small Guild fights, Gandara prob has more than our fair share of them, if you want to GvG them then go to the Gandara community forums there is a challenge thread for guilds like yourself, like someone said before if you cant find these Guilds you havent been looking too hard.

Lets not be knocking one of our prob largest Guilds that can actually match the numbers that alot of AG Guilds put out on a nightly basis unless ofc you want to make all of Gandara small warbands.

(yep, I know I fell for forum warrior troll, but havent had coffee yet)

Trashbob.2743:

There u go! ECL Arrowcart POV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEml669YJHY

Yep I can see how that was done, that was line of sight, but red circles behind the gate is what i was talking about… ofc if you have a clip showing how that was done id love to see it

Nope was deff arrows inc.. they were everywhere.

Question for ECL, (this is just a question coz i asked in /m and no one could answer) how did u manage to target the ac’s behind the east Gate Gandara Garrison, we had all ac’s taken out it didnt seem to matter how far back, there was no line of sight coz i tried after, the sup ac’s was instant targeted as soon as built, there was red circles all over the stairs by North East Gate, ofc i never got a screenshot to show what I mean (too slow).

I know we managed to shoot over the wall with a height advantage from inner wall, but just am really interested in what has changed to cause this (know about the new update, but still no one else could answer).

This is not an accusation, just mere interest coz im missing something

What would the people do in Viz if only time for wxp/karma was on reset.. and then rest of week is nothing since its all green? This is just a question since it interests me since I just play WvW (not in T1)and if i had nothing to do when I logged in, id prob log back out or start looking for a server that I could actually play in.
I cant imagine how horrible it is for those 2 servers atm but once SFR and /or Desolation fall then what happens to the next lot of servers to take 2nd and 3rd slot? Is it just rinse and repeat, everyone playing not to get to T1?

Bero.2193:

Parthis.2091:

Bero.2193:

p.s I have plenty more screen shots if you need to see them

Maybe pick one that doesn’t show you using an exploit for gain too, eh?

Fyi I was making reports at the time of bugs so that’s why you see SAB bug because they still haven’t fixed it along with many other bugs.

So you never went near any siege in that time you were “checking bug” ? never helped take those Keeps and towers? Lets hope Anet see it for what it is.. that you were just “checking” for bugs, not exploiting it.

Yep, dw, DTK ,VU and I saw MSNG (may have that wrong. if so sorry) working independantly causing grief at camps, Dawns, and Garrison trying to draw people away from Hills, tho its understandable that their main focus was Hills and they all ended up there in the end.

But OMG how many you all are when you did get together

Also next time have pity on those that have to run repairs.. did you have to bash down both gates!!

Oh how the mighty gloat when they have a influx of Guilds.

Fury and UNTY take care, remember what these Guilds have done to other servers they have no loyalty.

(Sorry Kali, will be my last post)

Wamgor, tonight on Gandara Borderlands we had no commander, so one shout in Map chat of Woodhaven being atttacked ofc brought most map to that area since there was no where else to go, tbh when i got there I saw Dius and I stayed up on Hill since they didnt need me getting in the way, but not everyone thinks that way, so its not really fair to lay the blame at Dius or OS, if we had a commander online maybe they could have lead us away, not once did Duis or any other Guild call for assistance, it was just scouts shouting in map chat.

crawy.1074:

Dedicating for Blob lover XxX who refuse to do GvG because of their play style ….

Sigh…. these comments are getting boring.. or you hoping by baiting enough that Nemesys will bite and come play silly games too?
Im sure that if you ask nicely there are a lot of Guilds on Gandara that do like this type of play style, or try something different from your 25+ and do some smaller 10v10 unless ofc thats not your play style

That Video clip was showing how all sides blobbed up tonight, not sure why you getting offended since alot of the action in that clip was XxX just really running around showing people how it looked and really some of those larger groups…. that has to be the whole map in one blob.

And Nem, block chat off next time please, nothing worse than seeing trolling in map chat…. (innocent)

Maybe this way they can say they got rid of the queues….

bata.4091:

gandara lets build 1 hard server transfere to piken all wvw guilds and join us

So basically your saying, you liked the queues in Piken before some left and you enjoyed playing in the upper tiers with mega blobs? Thankfully most of Gandara WvW guilds hate playing in big groups

Last I heard we had community forums, wouldnt it be better trolling/flaming on them than here where most of the WvW community really doesnt want to read it unless for the entertainment value as they take a break with their popcorn.

For those Gandarans not knowing where to find the forums.. ask in chat and someone will send you in the right direction, so can the kittening stop here and be addressed in its rightful place.

Im hoping that one of the devs actually reads this.

Outmanned is the equivalent of having “kick me” plastered on your back. Once the other servers see it its like and open invitation to come take towers since they know that you dont have enough to defend from both sides.

Get rid of it, that extra bit of karma will not bring the extra help needed, the enemy should not be given a advertisement that you are outmanned making you an easy target. So incase Im still not explaining myself, its hurting more than it helps.. get rid of it or at least make it so that other cant see.

(sorry to others for bring this back up, but its becoming more annoying as the weeks go by)

When people see a majority of Guild names in a group, then thats the name thats called out in chat, you dont pay attention to the others tags, so VII’s 15 will become however many culling allows us to think we see. You may not like it, but other Guilds are rushing in to “help” when you dont need it, I was one of those tucked up in a tower already outnumbered by VII when DT came rushing in to “help”, we know you didnt need it, but seems they didnt. That ss kinda proves what I mean, nug will be called out as the guild but when you stop and actually look at ss there are alot more guilds there, but “nug 30+ [insert area here]” is what is going to be relayed. (i tried counting how many were in that ss, and got fed up but its over 27, also realised if i have issues counting when no movement, no way anyone going to give a precise count when they are)

I dont think anyone is attacking the way you all play, but it does seem that some of the tactics learnt in T2 seems to have crept down into T3, bigger is better, which is a shame because the word fun in playing loses it context when your small group of 15 is run down by a group that seems to have no end over and over. Also if orange swords are to be correct, then most of the time we are facing +25 and Im not including any individual guild in that.

Is there not a way that lets say Shatterer spawns the same time on every server… I know last night we did a Guild Mission and failed since Dragon was up and we were spilt into overflows, if event spawned same time then the guesting wouldnt be used to this extent.

But all thats going to happen is, chests will get nerfed since its easier to do that than work a solution. But 10am in queensdale and in overflow, it hasnt been like that since launch.

Believe me, Arenanet is noticing it, that is why they are introducing these desperate “changes”.

Wait… Anet announced they were changing the system? When?

15th November

Said in jest but so true.
